Xu Qi’an carried Zhong Li on his back, gazing down at the capital from high above. The greatest city in the land lay still, dormant under the cover of darkness.

“Can’t you see such a night view from Sitianjian’s Bagua Platform?” Xu Qi’an asked with a smile.
“It’s not as pretty there. Besides, our teacher observes the stars at night, so we’re usually not allowed on the platform at this time, except for Caiwei,” Zhong Li replied regretfully.
